New Delhi: Blockbuster actor Prabhas has become the most sought-after person in Hindi film industry at present—all thanks to his superlative performance in magnum opus 'Baahubali 1 and 2'.
The film has done an incredible business at the Box Office globally and this has made Prabhas and other actors from the film the talk of the town. Now, Prabhas is next going to star in 'Saaho' and his 'Baahubali' co-star Anushka Shetty is going to be seen opposite him.
But now reports are doing the rounds that she was not the first choice to play the female lead. According to dnaindia.com, it was actually Sonam Kapoor who the makers wanted to cast for 'Saaho'.
Yes! Surprised, are you? Well, so are we. The report quotes a source as saying, “The filmmakers gave Sonam a brief idea of the film, and she agreed to meet them. But neither did the meeting happen nor did the makers return with a bound script.”
Other B-Town actresses such as Shraddha Kapoor, Disha Patani etc were also reported to be in the race for starring opposite Prabhas.
